Wanted a nice place to sit outside with hubs while strolling through downtown San Mateo. Had a hankering for wings so we thought we'd stop in. Hubs always orders the bbq sauce for a baseline. I like garlic parmesan. For the amount of wings, fried, dipping sauce and a soda it was a pretty good deal. The wings were crisp and flavorful. Thought it was a bit weird to have actual shredded parmesan on the wings but okay whatever floats your boat. The fries tasted a bit like sweet potatoe fried but they were a tad dry. Overall, I'd stop in again and get some wings! read more

This is my new go to spot when I'm craving wings! I'm surprised I didn't try them sooner once this location opened in San Mateo. I ordered for pick up via Uber Eats, order was ready in 5 minutes. It was still hot when I grabbed it 15 minutes later! I had to try the buffalo flavor and I noticed they had a peanut butter flavor. There was only one other place I've had peanut butter flavored wings, that place was in Portland, Oregon. The wings are crispy, just the right amount of sauce, and the wings aren't gigantic. Their ranch is very tasty as well! read more

Solid chicken wings with Asian fusion flavor options. The wings were so juicy but the drumsticks were on the drier side. They have a 95¢ wing deal on Wednesday's and 85¢ boneless wings deal on Monday & Tuesdays. read more

Fire Wings - Buffalo, Thai chili, salt & pepper - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Mateo, California

Ordered delivery twice in 2 weeks so never been to the actual location. HOWEVER, these wings are FIRE indeed. We usually order 30 to maximize on flavors. The flavors we got the first time were hot, garlic parmesan, salt & pepper, and Korean. When I tell you the salt & pepper was my EVERYTHING, I mean my EVERYTHING! The onions, the jalapeños, absolutely divine! I have never once ever thought of putting jalapeños on my wings and my life has changed. For the better. I just wish they gave more. I ordered "extra garnish" for $0.5 but did NOT get extra garnish Next order I got just salt & pepper and garlic parmesan because those are my 2 favorite. Please next time I need WAY MORE onions and jalapeños please! read more

Yummy! Ordered them extra crispy and they tasted so good. The Louisiana fry rub is basic yet an interesting mix of salt, hint of sugar and a kick of spice which is a must try. Also tried the Thai chilli which is that sweet n spicy blend. It was served with a generous amount of the rub/ sauce. The pieces are a mix of wings and drumsticks, so if you prefer one over the other, might want to check on customizing it. Service is fast. Ambience is great for groups! read more

Fire wings is always so good; perfect for ordering to go to watch a game! The online ordering is really easy, and our order always comes out correctly and on time. My favorite is definitely the salt and pepper wing (and favorite side is garlic noodles), but every flavor is good! We loved Saigon street for a more Asian wet sauce with a bit of spiciness! Getting one of the combos for a big group let's you try a ton of different wings and sides. read more

Wings were solid, not pictured are the fries and zucchini sticks which were also good. I do wish there was an option to order the wings crispy, also wish the buffalo wings were drenched in sauce. Not the best wings I've ever had, but way better than like a wingstop. read more

Food: We tried the wings, which were cooked to perfection. Peanut Butter 4.5/5 - totally delicious and different from what flavored wings I usually get. The Thai Chilli flavor was a winner as well, 4.5/5, unique and packed with flavor. Service: The staff were super friendly and really helpful. They suggested the sale they offered (which I didn't notice), like 85 cents per wing, when they saw we were a bit indecisive. Plus, there were multiple soda options, which was a plus. Ambiance: We popped in on a Wednesday evening, and while it wasn't too busy when we arrived, it started buzzing after we ordered. The place was neat and tidy, with a cozy vibe. Perfect for kicking back and chilling with the homies. read more

Fire Wings - Front: Peanut Butter Back: Thai Chili - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Mateo, California

I've passed by Fire Wings so many times that I cannot count, and I was able to try it earlier this year! My fiance and I were originally looking to eat elsewhere, but we were looking at the window sign to see all the flavors. When we went into the store, there wasn't a line, but there were others in store eating around us. We decided to order separately since I couldn't decide on what to get originally. I ended up getting the following: -10 piece combo with lemon pepper and garlic parmesan +5 extra buffalo stampede wings My fiance got: -10 piece combo with korean kick and dragon sauce I have to say that the wings were decent. They were crispy, juicy, and the sauce was tossed well. They do have more meat than other wing places, but this place is nothing out of the ordinary to me. It wasn't too mind blowing for me. From my fiance's chicken, the korean kick and dragon sauce were okay. I think I was expecting it to be different based on the names, but they were mild at best; tastes like asian jerky tbh. They do have some crazier flavors (ex: peanut butter), but meh. The lemon pepper and garlic parmesan was decent, the buffalo stampede wasn't as spicy as I envisioned it to be, and the garlic fries were sad & soggy. Highly recommend getting your fries well done if you can. I have to say the service is great though; a worker accidentally dropped one of my wings on the floor and replaced it quickly. Overall, if I was in the area and craving wings, I'd come back here. Otherwise, I'm not rushing to come back anytime soon. read more

Ordered several days in advance for a 2:15 pickup on Super Bowl Sunday. Arrived at 2:15, only to be told it would be a 90-120 minute wait. Finally got our food at 3:15, an hour late and just before kickoff. Staff did not offer any solutions, just telling the mob that orders were delayed. Eventually folks started grabbing staff and asking if their order was even being worked on. If staff could not find the order in the system, they asked customers to try and cancel on their end. Understandably some customers asked if they could resubmit their orders, and staff shrugged and said it would be 90-120 minutes before it was ready. On the flip side, several orders just languished on the racks for the hour I waited. Truly surprising to me was that the store continued to accept new walk-in orders despite the fact they had dozens of people waiting for their confirmed/paid orders. Not sure how the ordering system failed the employees, but if there was a manager on site that day they did not provide updates to the customers or provide a way forward for the staff. Just a lot of shrugs. Food was fine, but definitely not worth the wait/struggle. read more

My go to place for wings! I love the variety of flavors they have here and all flavors taste delicious!!! Chicken is always perfectly crispy too. 40pack: Came with 40 wings (your choice of bone-in/boneless, can mix/match), 1 veggies sticks, fries, 1 side. We opted for the veggies to be ALL carrots, garlic fries (+$1.50 upgrade), and garlic noodles for the side. For the wings, we got all bone-in in the flavors: - Salt & Pepper: 4/5 - Peking: 4.5/5 - Saigon Street: 4.5/5 - Dragon: 5/5 Garlic noodles: 5/5 Garlic Fries: 4/5 The staffs here were so friendly and food came out to us so fast! Definitely a solid place for wings, I will be back!!! read more

We ordered the 40 wing combo, which came with 3 large sides and it was more than enough for our party of 4. The wings were fried well and came out crispy and hot but I wasn't too impressed with any of the flavors we tried. -Fire: this was a slightly elevated/creamier buffalo sauce and was suppose to be one of their spiciest sauces but it was more of a mild buffalo spice - Thai Chili: similar to the Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce that you put on eggrolls, it was good but nothing special - Malaysian Curry: didn't have much curry flavors, we just drenched it in ranch - Garlic Parmesan: not bad but have had better - Garlic Noodles: the noodles were overcooked and too soft but the garlic flavors were good read more

This place is absolutely Consistent top-notch chicken with a great assortment of flavors. Every flavor is a winner here, but the fusion and the rubs are the stars. Top rubs: Garlic Parmesan, Cali rub, Jerk. Top fusion: Korean, Peanut butter, Saigon But.. no matter what you'll always pick a winner. Fries are great but that's not what you're here for. Good amount of seating inside. TVs going strong for some entertainment value, usually sports and news. Parking is decent in the surrounding area but can be tough on weekends. read more

First time here and wanted something light to go. I got the Nashville tender fries and my friend got the buffalo tender fries. I really wish I would've gotten something else because the Nashville seasoning on the chicken was so salty that I ended up picking around the chicken. My friends was actually really good and the buffalo sauce on the chicken was delicious. Overall, the next time I come here I know not to get that Nashville seasoning that was on the chicken but the fries and the sauces on the chicken were absolutely delicious. I would definitely try something from the rest of their menu. read more

It was the last day of our trip in SF when we decided to hop in here for a mini-lunch. There were 5 of us and we decided to try a bunch of diff flavours. The wings came out fast, freshly fried and hot. Very crispy and only like 2 overcooked ones. The gar par and dragon were very nice the mango habanero was a lil underwhelming. Overall, good, solid wings! Our orders didn't come w/ carrots or celery but we did get complementary dips which was nice. I do agree w/ Bonnie T who said these wings are a lil small compared to some of their competitors haha. I also wish each order came with more wings. If I was a San Mateo native would I become a regular? Nah, prolly not. There's not enough value. But the cook on the wing and the sauce quality was very good and for that I give 4 stars. read more

Better than I expected! Ordered for pick up and the wings were still crispy when I got home. Very tasty and a good size.

Got their crazy hot chicken sandwich, and it was a okay, it was not really "crazy" hot but quite salty. The size of the sandwich was huge. Also got their fries which is very flavorful but it was soggy when I got it (10 mins after the ready time). The coleslaw was great. Was a bit disappointed with the chick wings tho, I got two spicy flavored ones and none of them were spicy read more

Fire Wings - ORIGINAL CHICKEN SANDWICH super hot - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Mateo, California

I'm a bit selective when it comes to my wings. I like them to be saucy, but not wet because the wings end up being soggy. But not Fire Wings' wings. I ordered the Saigon wings and the Dragon wings. It's perfectly flavored - umami, spicy, and spicy! Not to mention, the wings were still slightly crispy. I also ordered the chili cheese fries. My first time trying it ever and I actually liked it. The fries were coated and still crispy. Fire Wings is definitely worth trying (again and again). read more

Wings: 4.25 out of 5 Ordered the Saigon Street and Malaysian Curry. Great flavors of sweet, salty, and umami flavor. Also ordered a side of carrots & celery with buffalo and blue cheese ranch. Definitely satisfied my craving! Environment: 5 out of 5 Fast casual place. Easy going with music and tv in background. Service: 5 out of 5 Easy and fast Overall: 4.5 out of 5 I love coming to FireWings! I'm so glad they opened a location in San Mateo! Definitely an upgrade from WingStop. read more

Fire Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Mateo, California

Fire wings, literally. What makes this place different is definitely those garlic noodles. The wings are fire yes, but not the best I have ever had. Bonchon is right next door I believe, and I do think they are more tasty but that could just be my preference because I do prefer Asian flavored wings. The price though is UNBEATABLE, $20 for dinner for 2 people cannot be beat. Very busy usually and lots of space for small and big parties; a typical wing joint. We tried the Thai chili & salt and pepper wings. They were tasty but nothing does compare to Bonchon or this one chinese place in Chula Vista, CA called Mandarin House. The Thai chili definitely way better than the salt and pepper. But yes, the garlic noodles. Very different and tasty and have never had them before especially at a wing place. Try those, they will make your wing experience different and worth it. Will be back for more, maybe trying different flavors! read more

Fire Wings - Menu! - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Mateo, California

What a delicious spot. It's my new go-to for wings when I'm craving them. They are flavorful, crispy, and meaty.

I Love Fire Wings! This was the first place we went to moving to CA 5 years ago and I will say, being a wing person this is the best place hands down. Valeria & Sujey are extremely helpful and literally go to see them plus the rest of the staff. They are very helpful! Great place for wings and to watch the games! I would recommend checking out Fire Wings if you haven't gone yet! read more

My friends and I drove down to San Mateo as one of them was craving wings. This place sounded familiar, and I actually tried it in Berkeley a few years ago, with positive memories. We got the 20 piece family pack with Louisiana Rub, Dragon, and Mango Habanero, and did an upgrade not for the fries, but for the garlic noodles. We also opted for only carrots, so no celery. The wings are very flavorful and continued to be impressive, with ample flavor. I like Dragon the most, although it is a bit on the saltier side. Garlic noodles are a little bit soft and clumped together, but it is super garlicky which is great. It is quite addicting, that my friends separately order large garlic noodles to-go. Mondays and Tuesdays they have 85 cent boneless wings, so we also got those afterwards to try, though I still prefer bone-in. The boneless wings here are a bit on the drier side, and there is not as much sauce as the bone-in variation. read more

Fire Wings - 20pc family pack - mango habanero, Louisiana rub, dragon, with carrots only and garlic noodles - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Mateo, California

Their wings are good but not great. Better than wingstop and not too greasy. But they're super stingy. I ordered 20 wings and they gave me 2 one oz cups of ranch. I asked for extra they and gave me one more. The lemon pepper wings had barely any seasoning. I asked for more seasoning on the side and they said "we don't do that". I said I'll pay for it and they said "we don't sell the seasoning". I told her that there's barely any seasoning on there so she offered to take the wings back and add seasoning. They came back looking exactly the same. All you had to do is give me some seasoning on the side. I don't get why this is an issue. I don't think I'll go out of my way to come here. Parking is tough. read more

I've been to Fire Wings a few times and it hits the spot every time. I came here on a Saturday after a 8 mile hike with a few friends. We got the 40 piece family pack with garlic noodles, buffalo, Malaysian curry, salt and pepper and Saigon. The service was quick and the ambiance was super casual and relaxed. I will always come back to fire wings. read more

Solid wings with lots of flavor choices from savory to sweet to spicy. The chicken sandwich was MASSIVE....could have used a little more sauce (I'm a saucy gal so that may be personal preference) Overall, good spot and better than wing stop read more

Wings were pretty good and this spot is open late, which is convienient via DoorDash for late night munchies. Flavors: Fire Wings: Spicy buffalo forward flavor. I'd call this mild-medium, about a 4/10 on the spicy scale. 7/10 flavor. Saigon Street: Delicious, umami and fish-sauce forward. Our favorite. 8/10 Salt and Pepper: Pretty good. I like the fried jalepenos. 7/10 Lousiana: Pretty good rub. A little salty and slightly sweet. 7/10 Garlic Noodles: Yummy. Needed a bit more garlic, but god the job done. 7.5/10 Overall, I'd say Wingstop is still better, but this spot gets the job done and has a wider variety of flavors to choose from. read more

Perfect for Sunday Football! We ordered thru DoorDash and the food came within 40-45 mins just in time for lunch. Always had a good experience doing takeout or delivery from this location because by the time I get my fingers on the wings, they are still warm and crispy! Reasons why I tend to choose Fire Wings over the other wing places like BWW or Wingstop are because of the variety and the consistency. Also, I love how they have a handful of flavors from classic, dry rub, to even fun fusion flavors. I would say some of my favorite items from Fire Wings are the garlic noodles and of course the bone-in wings. Flavors I enjoy the most are salt & pepper, Saigon, dragon, and Cali rub. Saigon & dragon are very similar in taste and almost tastes the same after a while - still delicious. My go-to wings place hands down! read more

We came here for a quick snack on Sat - we must've walked by here millions of times before trying it, but we decided to pay a visit after getting our coffee from Blue Bottle :) We wanted to get a little of everything to try, so we ended up ordering: -10 wings, 2 flavors - mango habanero and dragon -Nashville chicken sandwich -Stella beer We dined inside and felt relatively safe, but we would've def dined outdoors if they had that. The workers were super friendly and followed covid protocol/ensured customers followed protocol. This place is super popular!!! We saw so many come in to order and pick up their food while waiting for our order. Next time, I'll definitely do an online order to skip the wait. The wings were SOOOO good. So crispy, fresh off the fryer. Honestly, one of the best wings I've ever had. Much better quality than Bonchon (directly next door) and Wing Stop. Eating this so fresh might have something to do with it (rather than driving home and eating). Mango habanero was your standard flavor, so I'm not sure I'd order this again. Dragon was pretty good - reminds me of the standard korean fried chicken flavor. I'd love to try Saigon Street next time! Kinda wish we ordered more wings! I was super excited to try the Nashville chicken sandwich, but it was not great.. it was SO incredibly salty that I barely had two bites. I'm literally the last person to waste food, but I couldn't even push myself to eat it. My bf shared the same exact sentiment. I'll def return, but will get more wings next time!! :) can't wait to try the other flavors. read more

It was my first time trying Fire Wings, I was craving fried chicken and my boyfriend took me here. We were really that hungry so we ordered 20 pay by the pieces which included 3 flavors and 2 dips.

4/2/2021 Quarantine Day 382 My friend and I were strolling down downtown San Mateo and we stopped by Fire Wings for dinner. Inside there is limited seating so if you don't wanna wait, they do takeout (which I noticed they do a lot of!). The amount of flavors they have is a lot! Here is what we ended up getting: 1. Original sandwich (mine) 2. 1/2 salt and pepper; 1/2 garlic parmesan (hers) I know what you're thinking: "why didn't you get the wings since that's the namesake of the restaurant??" Well, since I was pretty overwhelmed by all the flavors, I decided to go with something simple. After we ordered, my friend and I sat down and in about 15-20 minutes as promised, our food was ready! I was happy with my sandwich because it's a huge piece of chicken which was also super juicy and the right amount of crunch. I had some siracha mayo to go with it; a most delicious complement to the sandwich! I was very content from he sandwich, not bloated or anything. Definitely will get some wings in the future! read more

Ordered for pickup and it was ready within 15-20 min Asked for fries and chicken to be extra crispy so that when we got to my friends house they would still be crispy. And they were. I opted for lemon pepper, buffalo and teriyaki. Everything was delicious. It was a fast and easy process to get my order when I picked up. Parking is hard to get but there is a parking structure about a block away. read more

The authenticity of the food, great service, and an old school ambiance make Kokko a great experience.

I've been to fire wings many times before and I love that they have an online ordering system. It makes it so much easier to order ahead and pickup when it's ready. I ordered the 10pc combo that came with a drink and fries. 5 pcs mango habanero 5 pcs Saigon street. We also opted for our fries to be made extra crispy. Because we have about a 20 min drive home, we like to order fries extra crispy so by the time we get home, it isn't super soggy and still has a nice crunch to it. I personally didn't really like the Saigon street flavor. It tasted very fishy and I couldn't really handle the taste of it and I'm not someone who hates fish. But the mango habanero was delicious, one of my faves that I always get. One day.. I'll be able to try all the flavors. read more

I went to multiple fire wings but this location has to be the best one. Fresh food, fast service & friendly staff!

I'm definitely impartial to fire wings just because I discovered it in Sacramento. I was so excited when I found out there was one in San Mateo down the street from me. The wings are a good size and the flavors are mouthwatering! I think the most unique one for me is the Malaysian Curry. That's my go to from now on. I also get the staples like garlic parm, lemon pepper, and mango habanero. The staff here are usually on it when you come in to pick up your order and it seems like they are pretty attentive when someone comes to the counter. I haven't dined in yet, but I think it's pretty much a fast food type of place with only about six tables. In any case, this, Firewings is where I go to when I have a wing craving. read more
